What is the average level of taurine in dry dog food? Is 0.3 low? Why or why not? Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 6 years old | 17 lbs

David Elbeze, DVM, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

Because taurine is not an essential amino acid for dogs and is not generally associated with canine health concerns, a recommended dietary value is not suggested for healthy dogs. On average, taurine makes up about 0.13 percent of dry food matter.
